At The Henry Ford

Some of our club members will be volunteering at the WWJ Newsradio 950 Radiothon for T.H.A.W. Our shift begins at 9:00am - 12:00pm. They will most likely issue a "college challenge" for pledges. So that means WE NEED BUCKEYE NATION to support and represent! We hope to hear from a lot of Buckeyes during the radiothon!

The Buckeye Bullet Project
Some of the fastest cars on the planet!

The latest Buckeye Bullet was discussed recently on CNN. Click here to view the interview with Giorgio Rizzoni, Director of OSU's Center for Automotive Research.

In 2009, the Buckeye Bullet team at The Ohio State University's Center for Automotive research set a new international speed record for hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles in excess of 300 mph with the Buckeye Bullet 2. After achieving their record and setting the bar quite high for fuel cell racing, the team decided to return their attention to battery powered vehicles and chase even higher records.

As a stepping stone towards building the ultimate electric landspeed race car the team converted the existing BB2 vehicle to a battery powered test car named Buckeye Bullet 2.5. With the help of A123 Systems, Venturi Automobiles and our many other sponsors On August 24th the team set a new international battery powered vehicle record at 307.666 mph! This was an increase of 62 mph on the old record! The vehicle's top speed was over 320 mph!

The team will use the valuable data gathered from this year’s testing along with more than a decade of landspeed racing experience to create the Buckeye Bullet 3 in 2011.
